After saying at the last debate that they'd support Trump if he wins the nomination, both John Kasich and Marco Rubio are having second thoughts.
Kasich, Rubio Waver on Backing Trump as Nominee
Not surprising, given Trump's continued incendiary comments inciting violence, demonstrating for the thousandth time that Trump doesn't have the temperament to be President. Instead of demonstrating statesmanship and attempting to lower the temperature, he continues to amp it up.
If this continues and Trump wins the nomination, then the infrastructure and money of the Republican party will move away from Trump and he'll be on his own in the general. This may have been the weekend when Trump lost it.
Mr. Kasich took on Mr. Trump at a brief news conference in Sharonville, Ohio. “Donald Trump has created a toxic environment, a toxic environment that has allowed his supporters and those who sometimes seek confrontation to come together in violence,” he said. “There is no place for this. There is no place for a national leader to prey on the fears of people who live in our great country.”
Asked if he could still back Mr. Trump should he win the GOP nomination, Mr. Kasich said: “It makes it extremely difficult.”
Mr. Rubio, trailing in a state he needs to win to stay in the presidential race, said “I don’t know” when asked in Florida if he would back whoever is picked as the GOP nominee. “It’s getting harder every day,” he said.
